“Nate’s a monster. He’s training … I’ll tell you what, that kid, I think he’s most improved fighter of the year. He looks good and he’s solid. I think he’s gonna win. A fight’s a fight, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. I think he’s got all the skills to win this fight. If...

“The two champs fighting each other, I would not be disappointed, I think it would be great [but] I don’t think they should do it. I think Anderson is way too big, lengthwise and everything for Georges St. Pierre. I don’t see [him] doing very good in that fight at all, I can see him...

Tomorrow night on BJPenn.Com Radio your hosts Mitch Ciccarelli and Bryan Levick will speak with five guests who are sure to entertain you and make your Wednesday night that much better. Leading off will be former UFC Interim Heavyweight Champion Shane Carwin who will discuss his recent knee injury that knocked him out his...

“Nick really wants this fight because he has great admiration and respect for Anderson as a fighter. Anderson Silva is a true martial artist, he studied martial arts, is a great representative of the sport. Nick loves martial arts and that, for him, is enough to put Anderson Silva as the opponent. … I heard...

Famed Jiu Jitsu coach, Cesar Gracie, recently opened up a new gym in a troubled part of Northern California. The Team Stockton founder hopes to inspire youth through giving them other hero’s to look up to in a community impoverished by low economic conditions and gang violence.

Our good friends over at middleeasy.com documented an interview with Ronda Rousey while she was up in Stockton with a reporter who might have gotten a little carried away with his feelings for the Strikeforce female champion. Hope to page 2 to check out this interesting outtake.

“Number one, let me say that I really don’t know Greg personally, so I don’t want to say anything against his character because I don’t have anything personal against him. But I look at things from the angle of fighting, and the guys I admired coming up were the Chuck Liddells of the world…the champs...

“They always change the rules on Nick. There’s some collusion to it all. Tyson Griffin tested positive for marijuana. It never came out but the UFC knew about it and he didn’t get a suspension. Diego Sanchez only got a suspension in California for three months. Nevada only has jurisdiction in Nevada so technically you...

This interview has Cesar Gracie talking about his up and coming fighter Roy Boughton who is to face a tough opponent Emanuel Newton on June 22’s Bellator 71 at The Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort in Chester, West Virginia for the start of the Bellator Summer Series Light Heavyweight Tournament.

The Cesar Gracie interview didn’t stop with his descriptive thoughts on the NSAC during Just Scrap Radio Show Episode 6. He addressed the crowd uproar about the trilogy that took place in San Jose, CA between the still Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez and Josh Thomson. Q: Gil though he’d won, Josh thought he’d won....

The last segment of Cesar Gracie’s interview, Jens Pulver fondly brings up “Baby D” Nate Diaz and asks Cesar “What do you think about the terror he’s going on right now?” Cesar replies in detail…. “I think Nate Diaz is the future of the 155lbs division. In the past there were issues, there strength issues,...

The 1st in UFC history Lightweight Champion Jens Pulver introduces the next guest on the Just Scrap Radio Show…. “My man Cesar Gracie, running around. He’s got Gilbert Melendez of course they’re really tight in the beginning but they’re still close – slightly removed. He’s got the Diaz Brothers now everybody under the sun is...

By Ryan Busuttil A day after UFC Welterweight Nick Diaz was suspended for 1 year for testing positive for marijuana after UFC 143, his coach took to the airwaves to defend him. Cesar Gracie was a guest on “Just Scrap Radio” on BJPenn.com today and gave his thoughts about the Nevada State Athletic Commission hearing...

Today we embark on the latest edition of BJPENN.COM’s “Just Scrap Radio” hosted by Jens and Abel Pulver. This week we have Strikeforce lightweight Josh Thomson who will talk about his fight with Gilbert Melendez this past Saturday on Showtime. Alan Belcher is hitting the airwaves to discuss his fighting career and free webinar on...

By Jamie McAllister Cesar Gracie comments to MMAFighting. Gracie comments on the Diaz vs. Estima BJJ match and would still like to see it happen. “Right now, Nick is dealing with all this NSAC stuff, and it’s like they’re coming at him double-barreled, because he had the audacity to challenge them in court and everything,...

By Evan Stoumbelis Braulio Estima, the man Nick Diaz was supposed to fight (key words supposed to) in a BJJ superfight this past weekend, fired back at Cesar Gracie today via Twitter. Since Nick skipped the fight, nobody has heard from him, and it appears that he is hiding from the public eye, leaving coach...

By Jamie McAllister Cesar Gracie issues official statement on Nick Diaz no show. Gracie details the facts behind the situation in a statement to GracieFighter.com In early April I got the call from Junior asking what I thought of a Braulio Estima vs Nick Diaz matchup. I had heard of Braulio and knew he was...

“Well, if the truth makes waves, we’re going to make waves. That’s just the way it is. If that puts a target on your back, Nick’s going to put a target on his back. Because we’re not going to back down from a system that wants you to lie constantly, that wants you to dodge...

“I guess it’s going to be a good fight. Nate Diaz is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC and Jim Miller is a good obstacle to overcome. He has good Wrestling skills and heavy hands, he’s strong. We’re not underestimating him, but I guess Nate is better than him both on the...

“Melendez’s situation is complex right now. We still don’t have an opponent, date or place set. They said he could fight in San Jose but it’ll probably change. They mentioned Josh Thomson but then said it was not going to happen. It depends on the relationship between Dana White (UFC president) and Showtime (TV channel...

“I was very disappointed. Everyone knows he smokes marijuana medicinally in California. He has a legal right to do it in this state. He was surprised he tested positive. He does the same ritual every fight for the last five years. He stops it in time and he cleanses his system, works out like crazy,...

We reported late last night that Carlos Condit has agreed to a rematch with Nick Diaz. After our report Dana White came out publicly on twitter and confirmed this rumor as fact. The UFC and Condit seem to have been able to reach terms but that doesn’t guarantee that the recently retired Nick Diaz, who...

[Retirement] is something I haven’t talked to him about. I would hate to see that. He’s not just fighting his opponent he’s fighting judges, he’s fighting judges that do not like him… They aren’t going to score anything for Nick. The whole judging system is so flawed; these guys have no one they answer to…...

“No I don’t obviously [think Condit won], he clearly won that fight. I’ve been there when Nicks lost fights and have told him you kind of let that one go… But this fight it was very clear. I was kind of shocked when I was in the cage, we were pretty much all in disbelief...

“Carlos Condit is in his way and Carlos Condit is telling people he is going to knock Nick out. [Nick] realizes this guy is not on our team, this guy is on a team that I personally do not like. It’s like fighting an enemy. He doesn’t have to work himself up he’s there… [Carlos...

“I truly don’t know [what the issue with BJ is], it’s something I don’t want to get too specific about. I don’t know what’s going on with BJ. I don’t know if it’s his people writing for him. We tried to help him out… I think he took that somehow as an insult. I don’t...

“We are not taking another fight. There is only one way in my mind that we are taking another fight… Hypothetically if we are fortunate and win this fight, I would advise Nick not to take another fight unless it’s the GSP fight or unless it’s in another weight class. We want to wait for...
